Evidence-based psychological interventions have been successfully adapted to treat co-occurring anxiety, but there is little evidence about the usefulness of adapted cognitive\u2013behavioural therapy for depression. To the authors\u2019 knowledge, to date there have been no randomised trials investigating the usefulness of low-intensity cognitive\u2013behavioural therapy for depression in autism.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec id=\"abs1-2\">\n                  <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The objectives of the study were to (1) develop a low-intensity psychological intervention for depression adapted for autism, (2) assess the feasibility and patient and therapist acceptability of the intervention, (3) estimate the rates of recruitment and retention for a full-scale randomised controlled trial and (4) identify an appropriate measure of depression to be used in a full-scale randomised controlled trial.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec id=\"abs1-3\">\n                  <jats:title>Design<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The study comprised a randomised controlled trial (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200970) with a nested qualitative evaluation (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200921).

Treatment as usual was standard NHS care for depression.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec id=\"abs1-7\">\n                  <jats:title>Main outcome measures<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Outcomes were measured 10, 16 and 24 weeks post randomisation using self-report and interview measures of depression, anxiety, obsessive\u2013compulsive symptoms, social function and quality of life, and a health-care and service use questionnaire. As this was a feasibility study also designed to identify the most appropriate measure of depression, it was not possible to specify the primary outcome measure or outcome point a priori.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec id=\"abs1-8\">\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The aims of the study were met in full. The guided self-help intervention was feasible and well received by participants and coaches. The majority of allocated participants attended the intervention in full. The most practical outcome point was determined to be 16 weeks. There were differential rates of attrition across the treatment groups: 86% of the guided self-help group remained in the study at 24 weeks, compared with 54% of treatment as usual group. The qualitative study suggested that guided self-help had enhanced credibility with participants at the point of randomisation. Inter-rater reliability of the interview measure of depression was less than adequate, limiting the conclusions that can be drawn from the prespecified sensitivity to change analyses.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec id=\"abs1-9\">\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The intervention was feasible and well received. Although this feasibility study was not a fully powered trial, it provided some evidence that the guided self-help intervention was effective in reducing depressive symptoms. A full-scale clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness trial of the intervention is warranted.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec id=\"abs1-10\">\n                  <jats:title>Future work<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Improvements to the intervention materials as a result of qualitative interviews.
